As part of yesterday's "Twilight" Takeover of our Comic-Con coverage, MTV News' Josh Horowitz got a rare treat: sitting down for a chat with Stephenie Meyer, a.k.a. the woman without whom our favorite vampire saga would never have existed. And since Stephenie has already seen a rough cut of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2," we had to ask: What's her totally unbiased, impartial opinion of how it looks? Because, y'know, she obviously has a lot of distance.

"Oh yeah, I have no emotional ties to this movie," she joked. But it turns out that Stephenie feels the same as the film's cast when it comes to what makes "Breaking Dawn: Part 2" most interesting: "In this, the standout is Kristen [Stewart] as a vampire," she said. "It's awesome."

Yesterday, for a few short hours, our Comic-Con coverage went All "Twilight," All the Time, as cast members from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" joined us between fan greeting and panel participation for exclusive interviews about the big, bloody finale to the saga. And what happened when we gathered together with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner for a final Comic-Con livestream dedicated to the movie franchise that made them famous? Well, for one, they all seemed a little confused.

"Coming into this day, it's a little strange for me," said Taylor. Because it did all start here...uh, four? Years ago?"

It's a "Twilight" takeover! Welcome to MTV News' bloody good livestream dedicated to all things vamps and weres, coming to you live from San Diego Comic-Con 2012. For the next two hours, we'll be sitting down with the cast of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," including Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Mackenzie Foy, Elizabeth Reaser, Peter Facinelli, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone, to talk all about the final installment of their epic film franchise.

In addition to movie guy and host Josh Horowitz's questions, we need your burning queries for the cast. Wondering how much moolah Mackenzie made from the set's swear jar? Need to know just how sexy those sex scenes will be? Want to hear one more time about Kellan arm-wrestling Kristen? Get thee to Twitter and use #MTVSDCC so your voice can be heard!

The "Twilight" takeover of our Comic-Con coverage starts in just a few short hours, but last night there were a whole lot of vampires already present and accounted for! Photographers were lying in wait to capture shots of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2" cast as they arrived at Comic-Con, meeting and greeting their screaming fans in advance of today's "Twilight" panel.

The fun kicks off at 1 p.m. ET, when MTV News' Josh Horowitz will be joined by stars from the epic vampire saga for exclusive live interviews—including leading man-lady-man trifecta Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. And of course, as always, we'll stop by the "Breaking Dawn" panel for a full report on the lively discussion between cast and crew along with any sneak peeks at the final film in the series.

Forget Renesmee. The newest vampire baby to join the Cullen clan is none other than Monroe Jackson Rathbone VI, the first child for "Twilight" star Jackson Rathbone and girlfriend Sheila Hafsadi.

The actor (whose full name is Monroe Jackson Rathbone V) took to Twitter last night to announce the glad tidings: "Thank you ALL for the love & support! Sheila & I couldn't be happier to have such a beautiful, healthy baby boy, Monroe Jackson Rathbone VI."

What's better than getting to soak up some San Diego sun? How about checking out some of these awesome Comic-Con panels filled with Crush favorites! With only a week until the annual celebration of all things geek kicks off, here's your guide to all the things you just can't miss.

(And also, in the case of that one shot of Emmet’s bicep, causing countless young ladies to enter a lust-addled fugue state, lose all sense of time and space, and then regain consciousness only to find themselves pressed up against their laptop screens and trying to lick the internet.)

And in case you missed ‘em in their debut in Entertainment Weekly, we’ve got every single image in a flipbook for your enjoyment! Which means that you can keep it right here and get your full-on fix of Cullen family photos, Volturi disapproval, inter-coven introductions, and even—get this—Renesmee’s face. (Which, as we all know, has been infuriatingly absent from the live-action teasers we’ve seen so far.) Behold! Have fun! And of course, be sure to waterproof your screen before you...nevermind. Wow. You’re really just going for it there, aren’t you?

Questions like, say, what is that strange shirt-like object covering the pectoral glory of Jacob Black?

Let the squealing and hyperventilating begin: "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" teaser trailer landed this morning in an explosion of red-eyed, sparkly skinned, multi-vampire-coven awesomeness, giving fans a long-awaited peek at what's in store for Edward, Bella and the rest of the Cullen clan in the final chapter of the "Twilight" saga. Namely: Bella is a vampire, Renesmee is growing at 10 times the rate of a normal child and the Volturi are coming to murder them all!

The trailer starts out by giving us the full-scale action shot of Vampire Bella (thank you! finally!), whose new activities as a member of the undead include cuddling with Edward, having a friendly reunion with Jacob and running through the forest at 100 miles per hour while wearing a really pretty dress. (Whatever, she's a vampire, and high-fashion hunting is how it's done, y'all.)
